New device can measure PET radiotracer concentration
Static PET images enable a qualitative assessment of the distribution of a radiotracer, but to improve disease prediction, a more quantitative approach is required. A retired radiation oncologist and an electrical engineer have joined forces to develop a clinically useful device.
